| Recipe Supplied by: Jennipher Marshall-Jenkinson | Serves: 4 People |
| Serve this lovely seasonal terrine with green salad leaves and new potatoes for lunch or vegetarian dinner, or cold and sliced as part of a buffet or starter. It also freezes well, so cut slices into single portion sizes, wrap each in cling wrap and freeze for up to a month before consuming. It's lovely hot or cold, and can also make use of smaller pieces of left over cheese - that can be grated together to give a different flavour. 400g broccoli, cut into small florets 1 medium leek, well washed and roughly chopped 50g cornflakes, roughly crushed ** 50g feta cheese, roughly crumbled 225g can cooked chestnuts, well drained 1 - 150ml tub natural yogurt 3 eggs, a little salt and black pepper to taste 1 teaspn finely grated nutmeg 1 tblspn fresh chopped OR 1 teaspn dried chopped sage 1 tblspn toasted sesame seeds Place the prepared broccoli in a microwave oven-proof dish, rinse under cold running water, drain off water, cover with a well fitting lid or cling wrap and cook on HIGH power for 5 minutes until vegetables are 'just' cooked. While broccoli is cooking, wash and prepare the leek. Transfer the cooked broccoli to a chopping board and roughly chop. Place the chopped leek into the oven-proof dish, cover with a well-fitting lid or cling wrap and cook on HIGH power for 3 minutes. Place the chopped broccoli in a large mixing bowl with the crushed cornflakes, crumbled feta cheese, the chopped chestnuts and cooked leeks. Beat together the yogurt, eggs, and seasonings to taste, don't add too much salt, as feta is quite a salty cheese, then stir into the broccoli mixture. Spoon the terrine mixture into a lined 1 litre microwave -proof loaf dish. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top. Cover dish with cling wrap and cook on MEDIUM-HIGH (600 watts) for 8 - 10 minutes, until a knife inserted into the centre comes out clean and the top feels firm and set. Leave to stand for 5 minutes, then turn out on to a large plate to serve. ** use wholemeal breadcrumbs, if cornflakes are not available, but they do add a lovely nutty flavor. |
